Hi all, as per the title I'm planning a mini ICE install in the Octy and as I normally don't think things out and end up doing them over and over I thought I'd get a plan together before I start. In my younger days I used to have some decent ICE installs in my cars which I fitted my self but that was a long time ago now and my mind isn't what it used to be. I have a few questions that I thought I'd ask on here to see if my thinking is right.

My first question is I'm currently running a Parrot RKI8400 Ipod head unit which is ok but with regards to sound setting is pretty basic. The unit I'm running only has one preout and as I'm firstly thinking of installing a 4 channel amp to power all four speakers in the car then at a later date maybe adding a sub I take it this is going to be a no go due to the amount of preouts I have available? Am I right?

Cheers

Go for a little 5 channel mate

Whole system..... 1 rca , 1 power cable

Tiny too lol

Some amps have pre out pass throughs bud, so you could put a sub amp after too,

You wont have so many adjustments but you could get speakers n subs off one pre out

Just the chap I was hoping would answer. I suppose a 5 channel would be the most logical idea. But Jesus man I'm not made me money lol.
